I want people to enjoy my tour as entertainment as always, of course. But I think this show also has aspects that will make people — even those who aren’t fans or don’t know my music — understand each other, reminding them: “That’s right. Our Japan is like this. That’s what great about Japan.” It’s weird nowadays, right? Things like bashing certain people anonymously online. It’s really weird and it’s getting worse. I think everybody feels this. The abnormality of thinking: “I won’t let someone else be happy!”. That side is also one of the tour’s themes — Like the album I’m working on, the tour is straightforward and frank in various ways. But I think that suits the current me."

Also, the interview does NOT mention a release date, nor does it mention she will perform b-sides. It just says: "some songs which she hasn’t sung in a while".

Some theories are that a previously unknown (in Japan?) DJ and foreign producers may be working on tracks. Afrojack? However, I'm not sure where the theory is coming from since I don't see much about that in the interview shown.

Tentative release date is July 13th mentioned, but I didn't see it in the article.
NOT in article. Not true.


Seems people are expecting A ONE 2.0 from her answers in the interview.

My current theory is that the inner booklet photos are the photos from the magazine since this was all revealed. However, I don't think the cover was revealed.
